"We've got to stay alive"

Those were the last words I heard from Ma as she pulled my hands running through the street. All around us people were running. 

The world was in chaos. A strange gas was in the atmosphere and people were developing supernatural powers. 

Some had telepathy, they could easily read your minds, some had telekinesis, they could easily lift you up from the ground and leave you floating. 

These mutation caused a change in the earths surfaces. The ionosphere, the biosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere was affected.

The water became too hot to drink, the air became to thick, oxygen was gradually depleting.

As long as you are normal, surviving becomes difficult. You are hunted down down everyday. 

Surviving becomes essential and we have to do all we can to survive.

Everything changed for Keturah, when her Mum was taken from her. 

As a scientist, and the best the town ever had, her Mum was suddenly wanted when an accident happened and a strange gas was released into the atmosphere causing genes to be mutated and people suddenly having supernatural powers.

Her Mum was taken as she was believed to have the cure. 

For eleven years, Keturah searched for her Mum, hiding in the woods.

She could feel the change from within. She needs her Mum, She needs the cure.

BEYOND THE ORDINARY

Cathy was the first to react; she stood up and slowly made her way to the door. I stood up quickly and hid behind it.As soon as the door was pulled open. I heard Cathy gasp. 


"Come in" I heard the heavy sound of boots as whoever was at the door came in. 


Ma quickly stood up from the bed to meet the person. 


As soon as the door was closed I became exposed and I could clearly see the person, the hair was still in a neat bun but she was now wearing a white lab coat over whatever she was wearing inside which I couldn't quite see. 


"Amara?" I called out. She immediately turned to face me and I saw that she held my clothes in her hand. I looked up at her face and gasped. 


Her eyes were bloodshot, they were so red and puffy and she had very visible dark circle around each eye. 


"What happened to you?" I whispered. My hands flew to my mouth in shock. 


She looked down at her feet and looked up at me again
